Novels are not only divided into chapters, they are also guided by scenes. Scene by scene moving the plot forward until the denouement, solution, finale or any other term you want to call it.
Scenes are within the chapters and chapters are within the structure of the book.
Outlines guide the creator to move the plot from beginning to the end.
Looks easy but not easy at all. It's like a sheepdog's work, guiding stray sheep from wondering off the trail to the finale. Any wondering or stray sheep that happened to be left behind reflects the shoddiness of the sheepdog and he will be reprimanded severely.
Reworking the plot or scene is another common occurrence that is both frustrating and rewarding in the long run. Why is this so? That's because it means, first, you're not facing writer's block and, second, you are moving the story forward. The final solution is now within your grasp and you're getting ever closer to your goal, which is, "The End".
All these work that seems useless are actually well worth the creator's time.
I'm going to practice scene writing and moving my plot forward to the final denouement.
The End.
